Pennsylvania
and New Jersey will get snow in the
days ahead, but nowhere near the monster blizzard depicted in an Internet map that
spread across social media.

A series of relatively weak storm systems will sweep across the
Lehigh Valley
and northwest New Jersey this
weekend, bringing with it 1 to 2 inches of snow, according to the National
Weather Service's Mount Holly
office.

While some light snow is possible for Saturday, it appears
as though any accumulation will take place late Sunday and into Sunday night,
the service said. Temperatures will
remain on the cold side, the forecast predicts, but neither icing nor coastal
flooding is expected to be an issue.

The rumors were quickly debunked by forecasters who reiterated
today there is no truth to the hype.

"It's still nonsense," the National Weather Service wrote in
its briefing package.

Looking ahead, the stormy and cold weather is expected to
continue. Although it is too early for details, there is a chance of a significant
storm midweek, which could bring snow, ice and rain, the National Weather
Service said.

The service will issue a new set of briefing information Monday
if the threat appears to be serious.
